What is the pressure inside an inflated balloon?  Paul Hewitt's text
Conceptual Physics says that it is greater than atmospheric pressure.  Is
that correct?  Any assistance would be appreciated.  CW Stacks

u could e-mail any info you might have I would greatly appreciate
: it. 
: Thanks!

I believe it most certainly is correct: think for a minute about the act of
blowing up a balloon.  Once it's blown, if you're not careful, you'll get a
stomach full of air, which means that the air prssure in your mouth is greater
than the surrounding atmosphere.
